From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuart K. Card is a Senior Research Fellow at Xerox PARC. He has been at PARC since 1974, and is now the Area Manager of the User Interface Research, or UIR, section of PARC. He has been one of the pioneers of applying human factors in human computer interaction. In 1983 the book he wrote along with Thomas P. Moran and Allen Newell The Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction was published. It became a very influential book in the field, partly for introducing the Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules (GOMS) framework.

Later, he became well-known for being one of the first information visualization researchers.

In 2000, Card became the second person to receive the CHI Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Computing Machinery's SIGCHI (the first having been Doug Engelbart), and one of the first to be elected to the CHI Academy in 2001. In 2000 he was also inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.

In 2007, Card was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and was awarded the Franklin Institute Bower Award.

On May 26, 2008, Card was made an Honorary Doctor of Science by Oberlin College, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1966.
